July: hello and goodbye

is it really the end of july?!
it seems like just yesterday i exploring the wonders of europe.
maybe this month has flown by because it's been a busy one.
here's my july recap.

 went on a life-threatening camping adveture with these ladies.

 last weekend, my freshman year roommate traveled north

to celebrate a very special lady and her newest addition.

not only did we have a great time partying,

we also took deanna to her first giants game!

an amazing weekend with some incredibly special people.

this past weekend was destined for greatest.

it all started with a visit with kimber.

our friendship has been long distance for the past two and half years,

so spending time together in person is absolutely treasured.

friday was my sister's birthday

and what better way to spend it than at the yard?

club level, toms, and corn dogs.

all was well until the "varsity blues" speech on the jumbo tron.

never a good sign at a giants game.

 on saturday, we decided to adventure.

we drove to tiburon in the north bay 

and took the ferry to angel island.

we hiked the five mile perimeter of the island.

a very doable, paved hike on an absolutely beautiful day!

on sunday, laura and i took our sisters out for their birthdays.

it's one of my favorite adult life traditions.

we took the sunol wine train.

even though we don't know much about wine,

it was still a super fun day!

this summer has been fabulous thus far.

europe in june,

stay-cations in july.

i can only imagine the fun that august will unlock!

cincerely,

cindy
